Michael joins Dave and Mac for one of the weirdest recording sessions in Filibuster's near 100 episode history. There's no 24 talk this week, but they do fit in a spoiler-filled discussion of the BSG series finale. Mac reviews The Tale of Despereaux and ABC's Castle, exposing his man crush on Nathan Fillion. Dave immerses himself in 8 Films to Die For and gushes about I Love You Man. Michael enjoyed his Race to Witch Mountain but was disappointed by Schoolhouse Rock: Earth. Recalling Saturday mornings with California Dreams and Hang Time. Horrible movie-going experiences. Characters with ginormous ears. Michael leaves Dave speechless. Oh, and don't tune out before the end credits. Email your comments, questions, or suggestions to Dave and Mac. Comments[0]
